There's a storm brewing...

[anon(2632)]

I'm thinking that it is an OTA software update as soon as it is activated. Possibly to remove skype/netflix?!?

 

[prakash99]

Or a release with Gingerbread? I know it is too farfetched but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I think there should be a separate thread now - "Guess what surprises TBolt will be released with"

I want to know what "Ben" has to say about this new tiered data that's been announced. I'm not currently on a smart phone and the thunderbolt was to be my first android based phone but if I can't get into a data plan (unlimited or tiered) at the current 29.99 I'm going to be really disappointed.

 

[Bennnnn]

Gingerbread is scheduled for Motorola first. Sorry

 

[spooluptheFTL]

Gingerbread is scheduled for Motorola first. Sorry

So they keep their "financial analysts" at Verizon up to date on the current status of free over the air software updates?

Oh, that's right. Promises, promises. They can't go back on that. That leaves Skype/Netflix as viable guesses.

We've spent the last few months working, tracking, and improving on a LOT of different Price Tier Variation models for the upcoming data switch. I know a lot of you will complain about it, but the majority of our customers use amounts under our designated data cap and, while it may stir controversy in the tech world, the "normal data user" is going to benefit by saving money each month as they are not going to reach the cap, thus allowing them to sign up for a cheaper plan.

I wouldn't worry since the Thunderbolt is going to require unlimited and therefore we will all be grandfathered into the same fee, once tiered data is implemented this summer.

Oh Bummer!!!!

Hey Bennnnn,

is it dual core? if it's not, just say no.

That may have just made my day, if this holds true and I'm ever in your neck of the woods I may just buy you a beer

Most of my work is ANALYSIS which is taking into account factors of phones (Specs, Froyo vs. Gingerbread, etc.), how they compare, and consumer opinion on the phones, all in hopes of finding trends in data and information that can lead to projections such as sales, turnover rates, and amount of overhead manufactured.

EVERYTHING plays a factor in my job.

Hey Bennnnn,

is it dual core? if it's not, just say no.

No, unfortunately not. But let me just say, wow... this thing is FAST.

Are you a CFA, Bennnnn?

When you're compiling the data from your analysis, put me down for voting to bring back the annual upgrade!

Or, was your analysis responsible for taking it away! LOL...
